Chapter 69 Bailong Mountain Conference
After handing over a spiritual stone at the gate of Fangshi, Song Qingming quickly entered Bailongshan Fangshi. Although there were many guarding monks at the gate of Fangshi, their inspection was unexpectedly lax. They said they were verifying the identity of the registered monks, but they didn't even bother to issue tokens representing the monks' identity.
When Song Qingming walked into the city, he still couldn't believe that this was the famous Bailongshan City. He didn't understand why the managers here were so casual.
Bailongshanfang City is slightly larger than Qinghefang. It has the same street with two rows of shops, but the east-west street is much longer than Qinghefang. There are about two hundred shops in the entire city.
However, this place looks much more prosperous than Qinghefang. The large number of monks coming and going on the streets makes Song Qingming in Bailongshanfang City feel as if he has returned to Guiyunfang.
Song Qingming had spent a lot of time getting to Bailongshan Fang City. Now that he had been traveling for seven or eight days in a row, he was a little tired and wanted to find an inn to stay in Fang City.
Seeing the people on the street, Song Qingming walked around the street, inquired about the news, and then walked directly to an inn in the middle of the street.
The inn was extremely lively and noisy. There were already many monks talking with a few waiters in the shop. It seemed that they were all monks who had just arrived here.
Song Qingming's eyes moved around the inn, and he found that there was a waiter in front of him who had just served a guest. He saw that the waiter sent the guest into the back hall with a smile and handed it over to another monk in the store. Song Qingming He took the time and hurried over.
After arriving at this guy's side, Song Qingming immediately asked directly: "Fellow Taoist, could you please ask if there are any free caves on the mountain for short-term rental?"
This guy is also a monk. Although he looks no younger than Song Qingming, his cultivation level is still low and he has only reached the third level of Qi Refining. At first glance, he looks like a person with no hope of spiritual development.
Seeing that another person came to rent a cave, this guy immediately said with enthusiasm: "You Taoist friends are also here to participate in the Bailong Mountain Conference. Fortunately, you came early. There are still many vacant caves on the mountain, but here Even if the cave is a short-term rental, the minimum rent is one month. I hope fellow Taoists know this."
"As long as there is a cave, let me rent it for a month first." Seeing so many monks renting caves in this shop, Song Qingming also knew that these people must be like him and come to participate in the Bailong Mountain Conference of.
The Bailong Mountain Conference will be held in about half a month. There will definitely be many monks coming here. There will definitely be more and more people renting the cave. Fortunately, he set off early and arrived here earlier. , so you won’t have a headache about this matter.
"Our caves in Bailong Mountain are divided into high, medium and low levels. I don't know what kind of caves you need. I think that although you look young, your cultivation should be about to break through the late stage of Qi training. If you want For a more comfortable stay, I recommend that fellow Taoists choose the intermediate caves rented by monks in the late stage of Qi refining.
This type of cave is closer to the top of the mountain, and the spiritual energy is relatively abundant. It is much richer than the spiritual energy in the city, and it will definitely not affect the daily practice of fellow Taoists. Although the price of renting this kind of cave will be higher, it is not too expensive. It only requires five low-grade spiritual stones per month. "
Song Qingming smiled and said: "Although my fellow Taoist is not high in cultivation, his eyesight is quite extraordinary. I am actually a little surprised that I can clearly see my cultivation so quickly. But I am here for this reason. If I buy spiritual objects, I won’t live there for too long, so I don’t have to waste a mid-level cave on me. I can just rent a low-level cave.”
Seeing that Song Qingming didn't listen to his suggestion, the guy's face gradually became a little ugly, and then he said flatly: "There are also low-level caves now, just to the west of Zaifang City, and they need three spiritual stones every month. Fellow Taoist As long as you hand over the spirit stone, you can get the cave ban and live in it directly.
However, in the primary cave, the spiritual energy will be much thinner, which may not be enough for those of you who are higher-level Qi-training monks. If you want to change the cave, you are welcome to come to me at any time. "
After handing over two spiritual stones, Song Qingming took a white jade talisman given by the clerk and left here quickly.
Bailongshanfang City is not as big as Guiyuanfang. It didn't take Song Qingming much time to quickly find the cave he rented in the west of Fangshi.
After living in the cave, Song Qingming sensed the spiritual energy here and felt that it was okay. The spiritual energy was much more abundant than that in Fangshi. Although it was not enough for him to practice, it would not affect him too much. Besides, he could only stay there at most. I will leave here in more than half a month.
Bailong Mountain is originally a second-level high-grade spiritual mountain. The high-level cave aura at the top of the mountain is extremely rich, enough for seven or eight foundation-building monks to practice together at the same time.
The hundreds of intermediate caves built under the top of the mountain are also prepared for the late-stage Qi Refining monks who come here. Now that the Bailong Mountain Conference is approaching, there must be many high-level monks in that place.
Song Qingming, who is still in the middle stage of Qi refining, will inevitably attract the attention of some interested late-stage Qi refining monks if he lives there. Now he has nearly a thousand spirit stones including the three hundred spirit stones given to him by Xu Ziyan. , so in order to be more cautious, he chose to live in a safer low-level cave.
After all, Bailong Mountain is not as safe as Guiyunfang. Although there are foundation-building monks stationed on the mountain, and monks are prohibited from fighting in the city, the monks here are a mixed bag. Many people who appear to be unusually kind on the surface may be hiding behind their backs. They are those who kill without blinking an eye.
The next day, Song Qingming left the rented cave very early in the morning, found a small shop in the market and bought some spiritual rice, and also inquired about the specific time of the Bailong Mountain Conference.
Under the gushing introduction of the store owner, Song Qingming gradually learned about some specific situations of the Bailong Mountain Conference.
Since the establishment of Bailongshan City, a Bailongshan Conference has been held in the city almost every five years. At each conference, the Bailongshan monks will release many rare spiritual items that are difficult to purchase in ordinary markets.
Every time the Bailong Mountain Conference is held, many nearby monks and casual cultivators from other parts of the Wei Kingdom will be attracted.
However, the time for each conference held in Bailong Mountain is not very fixed. It will only let people release the news of the conference in the city one or two months in advance before each conference.
It spread slowly through the monks who came and went, and soon a large number of casual monks would come here to participate in the Bailong Mountain Conference.
When the conference begins, Bailong Mountain will also activate the mountain protection formation, completely seal the mountain, and prohibit all monks from entering or leaving until the end of the conference.
With this approach, there will naturally be many monks like Song Qingming who rushed here more than half a month in advance for fear of missing the conference, making Fang City suddenly more prosperous than usual.
The monks who arrive here will go shopping in the market when they have nothing to do. In this way, even if the income from holding the conference is not included, the income of various shops in Bailong Mountain in just one or two months will be higher than that of Fang City. Usually turn it up several times.
The influx of a large number of monks will also make the caves on Bailong Mountain be rented out, and it will also bring a lot of profits to Bailong Mountain.
